kyo.n hawaa aaj yuu.n gaa rahii hai	Why is the breeze singing today?
kyo.n fiza ra.ng chhalka rahii hai	Why is the whole atmosphere saturated with color?
mere dil bataa aaj hona hai kya	Tell me, my heart, what is destined to happen today?
chaa.ndanii din me.n kyo.n chhaa rahii hai	Why is moonlight spreading into the day?
zi.ndagii kis taraf jaa rahii hai	What path is life taking?
mere dil bataa kya hai yeh silsila	My heart, explain this chain of events!
kyo.n hawaa aaj yuu.n gaa rahii hai	Why is the breeze singing today?
gaa rahii hai…	It’s singing…
jahaa.n tak bhii jaa’e.n nigaahe.n baraste hai.n jaise ujaale…	Everywhere I look, light is showering down.
sajii aaj kyo.n hai.n ye raahe.n	Why are the roads so resplendent today?
khile phuul kyo.n hai niraale	Why do the blooming flowers look so extraordinary?
khushbu’e.n kaisii ye bah rahii hai.n	How is such a fragrance floating on the wind?
dhaRkane.n jaane kya kah rahii hai.n	Who knows what my heartbeats are telling me!
mere dil bataa yeh kahaanii hai kya	My heart, tell me, what is this story?
kyo.n hawaa aaj yuu.n gaa rahii hai	Why is the wind singing to me today?
gaa rahii hai…	It’s singing…
yeh kiska hai chehara jise mai.n har ek phuul me.n dekhta huu.n…	Whose face is this that I see in every flower?
yeh kisii aawaaz jisko na sunke bhii mai.n sun rahaa huu.n	Whose voice is this that I hear even when I’m not listening?
kaisii ye aahaTe.n aa rahii hai.n kaise ye khwaab dikhla rahii hai	What sort of footsteps are these that approach? What sort of dreams am I being shown?
mere dil bataa kaun hai aa rahaa	Tell me, my heart; who is coming?
kyo.n hawaa aaj yuu.n gaa rahii hai	Why is the breeze singing today?
gaa rahii hai…	It’s singing…

Hindi & I

hindi, kerala, me, remya

Hindi is the national language of India but sadly I’m poor in the language  😦 . I studied Hindi for 3 yrs ( 5th, 6th and 7th) and then I choose Malayalam as my second language from 8th (the best part of being in ICSE). From l.k.g to 4th I studied in Kerala Syllabus, where they teach the basic Hindi alphabets at 5^th std.  Well my dad decided to place me in ICSE after 4^th. Now please don’t get started about the ICSE entrance examination (for a 10 yr old x-( ) and spoiling my summer time studying for that stupid exam L . Anyways, there they teach Hindi from 1^st std onwards.

I joined there with the knowledge of just the alphabets and they gave me a textbook where there are long stories and they require us to answer all the questions in the end of the chapter. Do I have to mention how horrible my days were?… Hindi teacher Ms. Sumangala was kind towards me in 5^th std. However, I didn’t really make much progress even after a year L. I could read a story and understand it but I couldn’t write an answer in my own words. So she started treating me like all the other kids and punished (mainly pinches) me when I got low grades. This made me hate Hindi more and more. Finally I passed 7^th with just “pass mark” for Hindi. When I went back to get my books for 8^th grade, they asked me which language would I prefer as my second language… well they didn’t even had to ask, coz looking at my grade sheet they kinda figured out my answer…  I hated hindi sooo  much (due to all the torture from the Ms.S) to a level where I didn’t even like to watch hindi movies or listen to hindi songs :P…  

I finished my 11^th in India and came to US with my family. Once I joined engineering, most of my friends were north Indians and Hindi was an unavoidable language L. Well I started watching Hindi movies, listening to hindi songs and even some serials.. Now my hindi is much better where I can understand dialogues but I still have problems speaking in Hindi :P.  

Actually, the reason why I said all the things above is because, I was watching VeerZaara and I loved the “Kyon Hawa” song. I googled for the lyrics and the english translation and loved the song even more. I want to put the lyrics and translation in my blog. Therefore, whoever like me who suffer from Hindi Phobia could understand what this song is all about…

Ok… that’s all for now… I will post the song with a different subject…

adios !!!!!
